Best speakers to use with Mahi Mahi amps

Along with the Mahi Mahi I use a Woo Audio WA2 preamp, RAM modified Shanling CD T100 and a REL Strata III subwoofer.

I listen mostly to Progressive Rock, Jazz, Acoustic Blues and Bluegrass. Budget for speakers is $5K or less

There is no definitive "best" anything, it's all subjective. When you ask a question like this, the answers will always be what folks think is "best" to them in their system. Just my opinion so take it or leave it. Good luck.

They liked the long wall and needed a little room. A pair of vintage 15" or 12" Dual Concentric Gold Tannoys in a custom cabinet were also a good match.
